A same-sex couple who are mistaken for mother and son have shared their financial struggles after revealing they are expecting triplets through IVF. Lauren Evans, 31, and her wife, Hannah, 29, were viciously trolled when they announced their marriage on social media last year - with people branding the mother-to-be a 'paedophile' because of her partner's youthful looks.

Now, the couple - who are expecting triplets after undergoing £9,000 IVF treatment in Cyprus - are raising money for the birth of their children after Hannah was made redundant. The Surrey-based newlyweds always knew they wanted to start a family but were shocked when they found out that fertility treatment would cost £21,000 in the UK.

So, they decided to undergo the procedure abroad but had to tie the knot first so that Hannah, a specialist engineer, wouldn't have to adopt her own baby. The couple planned their wedding in just six weeks and got married in August 2024 before jetting off to Cyprus the following month for the treatment that set them back by £9,000.

Lauren had Hannah's fertilised eggs implanted in her womb and found out she was pregnant three days later. The pair were shocked to discover they were expecting triplet girls. But amid exciting news of their pregnancy, Hannah was unexpectedly made redundant, pushing the couple into financial uncertainty and forcing them to raise £3,000 for baby essentials like clothes and bottles ahead of the triplets' birth.
